Ken Schilling, iBIZ President and CEO says, "The processing power in PDAs today make it possible to port a variety of technology into a handheld computer. The pocketRADIO SD Card literally converts a standard PDA with an SD expansion slot into a high quality FM tuner."

The card's software provides the user with up to 18 station presets along with a search and seek function. The pocketRADIO multitasks which means it will go about its business while you work within other areas of your PDA. You can listen to the radio with either headphones or external speakers.
